I have been to several amusement parks and this was the worst ever- the place is poorly maintained, graffiti and trash all over the place, It looks like you are in the getto, customers service is horrible, and management was even worse. Over half the rideswere closed & not enough staff to operate the park. The food was stale & very expensive. I would not recommend this place to anyone

Never again!!

The place is filthy and so badly maintained it is scary to think of riding some of those rides. My 7 year old child suddenly "grew" 2 inches when they measured her at the gate so we had to pay full adult fare for her. HOWEVER.....she was too short for half the rides she wanted to go on. Many of the rides, games, shows, vendors were closed. This place looks like it is on its last leg.

We won't go back

We waited over an hour to ride the roaring rapids (or whatever the official name is ) ride. It was completely lame. We only got a few drops of water on us, which turned out to be good as the water had an AWFUL stinch. For the amount we paid, there were just not that many "thrill" rides. If you go, I would recommend packing a cooler lunch ...

Fun Day

I went along with my sister, niece (13) and nephew (9). Though previous reviewers complained about rude staff, I found quite the opposite. EVERY staff person I encountered was pleasant and accommodating. Though never a fan of swimming in public pools, the water "appeared" clean and I wished for the best as we eased the hot weather ...

Lot Good, Some Bad

Clean, Nice Shady spots with seating in most areas, Options for all ages! Food and drink located often so you were never far from refreshment!
Music Way Tooooooo Loud especially in children's park!!! We had to yell to be heard even when seated next to each other. This is a safety concern for kids as they would never hear you if you yelled ...

A fun and easy day

We went on 4-17-09, a group of seven from ages 5-40. We live in the area and go about every other year. Many of the rides have been refurbished (new cushions and restraints) and repainted. It's nice to see that the park is being maintained and updated by the Cedar Fair company (it's no longer a Paramount park, that's why the rides ...
I bought season passes for me and my daughter last year. It's over an 1 1/2 drive but worth it. If you plan to go more than once, you may want to purchase season passes. It's a good value if you're going to visit multiple times. The food is pricey, so I recommend bringing a cooler for drinks and lunch (if you don't mind the long ...
